Hey guys a few of you have asked me about my setup in my office,
like where I film and stuff and where I do my live stream so I just want to give you, like,
a really quick rundown of the gear that I use when I'm in my office and like all the equipment and
stuff that I use. So the first thing is I guess I'll just show you my desk because that's where I
do all my editing and I do my live streams um and sometimes I sit at it as well when
I'm like doing an unboxing or something like that so yeah so this is my desk.
And so I recently got this Elgato Flexi Arm and and the pole as well so before I used to use my
GorillaPod and I just used to put it on the desk just right around here but it just took up too
much space and if I wanted to have a notepad out or have my laptop out then it just didn't give
me -- it just got in the way so I got this pole so it's basically clamped to my desk at the back
there and it's also really cool because if I do an unboxing I can just kind of pull this out and have
the camera facing downwards that's really good and a little while ago BenQ sent me out this monitor
light, it's called the ScreenBar Plus it's actually really good because when I
was -- whenever I'm doing any editing and the sun starts to drop and I forget to put my lights on
then it's just too dark in here and I'm just straining my eyes so the light doesn't come
on when the light levels drop, which would have been really nice to have but I do kind of just
have it on most of the time so if the light levels do drop then I have that light and I'm
not straining my eyes so much, and the other cool thing is that it will adjust to the ambient -- the
ambient temperature, the ambient light in the room so it has this button on the left hand side and
you can click that and it'll adjust the ambient light to the light in the room and the bright
and the warmth as well so that's really good, and even though I do have two monitors I don't feel
like I necessarily need another light on the other monitor because it gives me plenty of light and
i've kind of put it on the light on the monitor that I use the most anyway. So the next thing
is for my streaming I use the Stream Deck the Elgato Stream Deck . I do find that
really useful when I'm live streaming so I can just change between different screens in OBS
so that's really cool, and so in terms of my audio for my live stream, so I use the Shure
SM7B and I use the Focusrite audio interface and then a cloud lifter, it's just really easy to use
and the audio quality from the SM7B is really good as well so really like that mic
and yeah the cloud lifter is just because the SM7B is actually a really quiet microphone so you
kind of need a preamp to bring the levels up. So yeah and then in terms of my light so I have this
Aputure 120d with the really large light dome. The light dome 2 and I was going to get the Light Dome
Mini but I wanted to have something that was going to give me as much spread of light as possible
even though I'm in quite a small space and it does take up a lot of room but I just wanted something
that was going to have a bigger surface area so that if I just wanted to flood the room with light
then I would have that and, the other thing that I use is this panel light as well this is what I use
when I'm again sitting at my desk and I'm live streaming just have a bit of extra light on me.
So yeah that is pretty much, that is pretty much my setup. I didn't actually talk about my camera
so I use the a7 iii for live streaming and I usually use it with my sony 24 GM -- I'm not
even showing you my sony 24mm 1.4 G Master lens, which I love it's just such a beautiful lens
and I tend to use my v-mount battery just so that I know that I'm not going to run out of power. So
that's basically my setup for when I'm at my desk when I'm editin, oh yeah sorry the
last thing actually is my mouse so this is a I think it's a Razer Naga trinity or Razer Naga,
it's either the Razer Naga Trinity or the Razer Naga I can't remember but, I've used these mice
for the past like decade probably and they're just brilliant. I think they're great it's
really cool because you can have certain macros attached to certain buttons and different button
functions and stuff and each button can just do different things so I find it really useful when
I'm editing as well, it just makes things a lot quicker and just when I'm working in general as
well. And then the last thing actually no it's not the last thing two more things is my headphones,
so I use these audio-technica headphones and I've just got them -- I've got a little hook here just
to put them on on my desk so I use these for when I'm editing as well and stuff, and also down here
you can see my very very very messy charging station which I really need to sort out because
it's yeah it's just, it's really bad and one of the things I kind of want to do; I saw Becki and
Chris had done like a really cool, I can't remember if it was wall mounted or something
I think it was wall mounted but it just looks really cool so I want to try and do something
like that in here just so that i've got all the cables off the floor and it's just a lot tidier,
and yeah I guess I'll show you my PC because why not
so this is my pc under my very messy desk, custom built so I can put the specs up of
everything that I've got in there at the moment but it's -- I've never had any trouble with
with editing like 4K footage and stuff with it, so yeah I upgraded all my bits and pieces in there
a few months ago and ever since it's just been really cool for editing it's just been super fast,
I haven't had to necessarily use proxies a lot for my editing so that's been really good. And
I guess the last thing is when I'm in here and I'm filming I tend to film against this wall
so a lot of the stuff that you see when I've got this dark wall is this wall, and I
film against that, I painted this a few months back actually because it was just a white wall
and so I film against there, and I tend to use a teleprompter if I'm doing something which
is I guess gonna have a lot of information that I won't necessarily remember and I'll just keep
stuttering or just going around in circles and wondering whether I've actually said
something right so I'd use a teleprompter sometimes and this is the one that I use.
It's the Glide Gear the only thing that I find is really good, but the only thing that
I find kind of annoying about it is the fact that I can't necessarily use it --
I can't use it with my rig because I have to have that on I can't just
put it in front of my camera I have to put my camera on top of it and kind of inside it so,
so it would have been really good if I actually got one where you could just kind of
put it onto the front of the camera, so yeah I might actually change it at some point but
it's not really a big deal, it just means that it's a little bit of extra setup when I do
my videos but because I batch do, I batch do? Because I batch film my videos anyway it's not
that much of a deal big deal because I'm just kind of setting it up once anyway, so, but yeah that's
my setup that's, this is my office this is where I do all my stuff and yeah I hope some of you found
it useful and all the links to everything I've shown you are gonna be in the description so you
can check everything out in there, but yeah thanks for watching see you guys in the next video.
